We can swap out the durations, and you’ll still get the same message. For example, “People overestimate what they can achieve in a week and underestimate what they can achieve in a month.”

People who underestimate what they can achieve in the long run don’t try to achieve it.
Their mind is too constrained by their current affairs. They’ve imposed limitations on themselves based on their immediate reality.
